Down here in Waycross we definitely pronounce it All-Benny. Lol.
There is a very small town nearby called Hoboken which I've only ever heard it pronounced Ho-bo-ken, exactly as it's spelled. Well one day in the late 90's I was at a gas pump pumping gas and a man pulls up and asks me if Hob-uh-kin was that way? I made him repeat it twice and finally told him I had never heard of that place in my life. He digs out his map and points to it. I was like ohhhhh Hoboken. Lol. Said he was from Oregon.
As a kid I remember back in the black and white TV shows 'What's my line'. This dude was telling people where they were from within 50 miles by listening to their accent. The people he demonstrated on were from the NE but I agree there are very local differences.
Thanks Bulldawg1982, that reminds me I have some Publix Sugar-free butter pecan ice cream in the freezer. By the way, if you want some sugar-free ice cream that tastes like regular ice cream try Publix sore brand.
Many years ago I read that butter pecan is a favorite of men (the favorite, perhaps). Within weeks of reading that I informed the owner of a newly opened ice cream shop that he was remiss in not stocking butter pecan. Nothing else. Read and apply is all. Oh, yeah. I said BUT tur pe KAHN.
Colorado is like that. People within the state all pronounce it entirely wrong. They say it like Col-ah-ray-oh.
Well, one thing we all agree on--put a big slice of whatever you want to call it pie on a plate with some vanilla ice cream and you have a delightful southern classic!
@FirePlugDawg Perhaps I've just lived way too far away from our beloved home state of GEORGIA for just too long now? Anyway, I can remember saying it BOTH ways. I believe that most all of my family (I have a really big family in Georgia too) that is entirely in and around the Metro-Atlanta area from one side of the city to the other spanning between 5 or 6 counties across it from East to West ... everyone there pronounces it PEE-CAN. I have personally said "pe-kahn" for years.
